Sorry no hard facts for you smalltown, but any 1688 I have ever been around was pretty strong, wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't out run the 21. Was the max engine speed different between these two (higher on the 16)?

1688 and 2188 are mechanically the same. The cab the electrical and the hydraulics are differant but the rest is the same. Hp is 260 for both.

So you will be doing the same amount but will be more comfortable.

The hoober timeline maybe should be a sticky at the top of the page, with how many people ask about changes through the different models or years.

I have a buddy who just bought a 1996 2188, and he is dead set that it will run away from our 1994 1688... Our family has run CIH forever, 2388,1688,1680,1482 along with some older pull types. But i can't find the differences between 2188 and 1688... I thought maybe afew more horses in the 2188 but the cleaning surfaces are the same, and the motors were the same but with different injectors? I need hard facts here... I know a 2188 won't do anymore than a 1688 but i need hard facts.

It wouldn't suprisse me if the 2188 was a little faster in HP limiting conditions. The 2100 series introduced the PFC hydraulics, reducing heat and power requirements over the gear pump system on the 14/1600 machines.
